Objective To investigate the risk factors and their prevention and treatment approaches for occurring radial artery spasm (RAS) during the brain digital subtraction angiography (DSA) with transradial catheterization in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods The patients who underwent DSA of transradial approach because of ischemic cerebrovascular disease were enrolled.Their clinical data,surgical complications,and radial artery spasm were collected.The data of occurring RAS or not during DSA of transradial approach in patients were compared.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for occurring RAS during DSA of transradial approach.Results A total of 100 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease who underwent DSA of transradial approach (74 ischemic stroke,26 transient ischemic attack) were enrolled,of which 21 (21％) had RAS.Of the 21 patients with RAS,4 suspended their operations and completed their DSA after spasm relief; another 17 were treated with intrathecal cocktail (heparin 2500 U,nitroglycerin 0.5 mg,verapamil 1.25 mg) and completed their DSA after spasm relief.There were significant differences in the proportions of radial artery diameter (1.89 ±0.28 mm vs.2.12 ± 0.17 mm; t =1.582,P =0.041),duration of operation (12.3 ± 3.1 min vs.9.8 ±2.7 min; t =1.264,P =0.038),and radial artery diameter ＞2 mm (9.52％ vs.65.82％ ;x2 =9.624,P =0.002),radial artery anatomy variation (23.81％ vs.0.27％; x2 =14.185,P＜ 0.001),and the first successful puncture (42.86％ vs.78.48 ％ ;x2 =5.335,P =0.021) in patients between RAS group and the non-RAS group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the radial artery anatomy variation (odds ratio [OR] 1.940,95 ％ confidence interval [CI] 1.372-2.241; P=0.023) was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of RAS.Radial artery diameter ＞2 mm (OR 0.752,95％ CI 0.352-0.847;P=0.043) and the first successful puncture (OR 0.843,95％ CI 0.367-0.941; P=0.045) were the independent protective factors for RAS.Conclusions RAS is a common complication of DSA of transradial approach.Repeated puncture,radial artery diameter,and radial artery anatomy variation are its most important influencing factors.

Objective To explore the influence of combination of Chinese traditional and western medicine continuing nursing care on treatment outcome and quality of life of patients with chronic urticaria.Methods 96 confirmed chronic urticaria patients were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group with 48 patients in each group according to random digit table.The control group was given with routine nursing mode.The observation group received combination of Chinese traditional and western medicine continuing nursing care.The treatment lasted for 12 months.Treatment effect and Dermatology Life Qudity Index (DLQI) evaluation were executed at the end of the 3rd,6th and 12th months.The relapse was inquired 2 months after the intervention by follow-up.Results The total effective rates in the control group and the observation group at the end of the 3rd,6th and 12th months were 75.6％ (34/45),80.0％ (36/45),82.2％ (37/45) and 87.0％ (40/46),91.3％ (42/46),93.5％ (43/46),the results showed significant difference,P ＜ 0.05.DLQI scores at the end of the 3rd,6th and 12th months in the control group and the observation group were (7.82±1.95),(7.04±1.58),(6.56±0.88) scores and (6.85±1.56),(5.71±1.03),(3.42±0.78) scores,the differences were significant,P＜0.05.The relapse interval time was (24.75±5.07) days and (38.20±7.22) days,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).Conclusions Combination of Chinese traditional and western medicine continuing nursing care can significantly improve treatment outcome of chronic urticaria,reduce relapse rate,increase quality of life for patients with chronic urticaria,and it is better than routine nursing care and is worthy of being popularized.

A total of 35 patients with hallus valgus (56 feet) received treatment at the Department of Orthopedics, the Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University between January 2004 and June 2005 and were recruited into this study. These patients underwent osteotomy of proximal first metatarsal and internal fixation with poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) absorbable pins. All patients were followed up for 4-22 months. Excellent outcomes were found in 27 patients (44 feet) and good results in 8 patients (12 feet). The mean healing time of surgical region was 6 weeks, nonunion or delayed union was not found. There were 3 cases suffering from complications post surgery. Two of them presented with peripheral wound red swelling, considering as a result of extraneous material-caused aseptic inflammatory reaction. This phenomenon would be regressed 2-4 weeks after hydropathic compress of ethanol gauzes and timely renewal of dressings. There was 1 case who suffered from protrution of absorbable pin 1 week after fixation and received reposition and plaster fixation. Bone displacement and nonunion were not found. This complication maybe results from excessively large bone pore due to shaking of electrodrill, which leads to loosening of absorbable pins.

BACKGROUND: It is important to study the methods of culturing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to obtain a great amount of high purity MSCs for applying ocular tissues constructed by tissue engineering technique to treat eye diseases.OBJECTTVE: To separate and culture in vitro MSCs from bone marrow of the adult rats by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherence culture, and observe the growing characteristics and the possibility of mass multiplication.DESIGN: A completely randomized grouping design/repetitive measuring experiment.SETTING: Pathological laboratory, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University.MATERIALS: Four six-week-old SD rats about 250 g, grade Ⅱ of cleaning, were provided by the Animal Center of Sun Yat-sen University [certificate number: SCSK(Yue)2004/0011], about 250 g each rat and there was no limit to the sex. The main reagents and instruments included low sugar Dulbecco modified Eagle culture medium (DMEM/F12, American Gibco Corporation), trypsin (fetal bovine serum (FBS, Hangzhou Sijiqing Bio-Engineering Material Research Institute), American Gibco Corporation), disodium edetate, lymphocyte separating medium, fibronectin, CD44, CD34, CD31 monoclonal antibodies, two-step-method kit for immunohistochemistry (Beijing Zhong shan Biotechnology Corporation).METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Key laboratory of Ophthalmology (Sun Yat-sen University), Ministry of ethanol (750 g/L) for 10 minutes. Under aseptic condition, the medullaris cavitas was exposed, the syringe containing application m edium was directly punctured into the femoral cavity, the cells in the medullaris cavitas were washed out with the culture medium containing heparin and taken as the cell suspension. The bone marrow-derived MSCs were separated and purified by density gradient centrifugation combined with adherence culture, and the growing conditions of the wells. When the cells had generally connected with each other, they were fixed with methanol or dimethy ketone in situ for 10 minutes, and then hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining or immunohistochemical staining. Antibodies against fiinoculated to 96-well culture plate by a cell density of 4.25×107/L, with 200 μL every well; then put the culture plate into culture box. Then from the next day to the sixth day, 5 g/L MTT solution was added into two rows (20 μL every well) every day, continuously cultured for 4 hours, then the supernatant was removed, and 200 μL DMSO was added to each well, agitated for 5 minutes, then detected the absorbance (A) values at 570 nm wave length, and a growth curve was drawn.branes were clear and the cell bodies were lucent. Being cultured for 2 days, there appeared adherent cells. 3 days later,most of the adherent cells extended and appeared to be in polygon, star or long-shuttle shapes. 4 days later, the cells showed to be in division growth stage; and about 12 days later, the cell clones were connected to each other, appearing curve of subcultured MSCs was in S shape. Cells began growing fast on the 2nd day after being passaged, and they entered the growth period for 3-4 days followed by saturation period, and then cells stopped growing.CONCLUSION: It is a simple and practical method to separate MSCs from the bone marrow of adult rats by means of density gradient centrifugation and adherence. MSCs can greatly proliferate in vitro and offer seed cells for the application of tissue engineering technique to treat eye diseases.

Objective To investigate effects of arthroscopic reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) using partial peroneus longus tendon autograft in treating recurrent patellar dislocation.Methods Forty-six patients (53 knees) with recurrent dislocation of patella received autologous partial peroneus longus tendon grafting for MPFL reconstruction after arthroscopic lateral retinaculum release from May 2009 to April 2010.Anatomic relation between femoral trochlea and patella,and motion path of patella were observed arthroscopically in adjustment of flexion and extension strength of grafted tendon in different angles.Successively,the tendon ends were fixed within bone tunnel of medial femoral condyle by using absorbable interface screws with synchronous superomedial displacement of tibial tuberosity.Stability of patellofemoral joint,dislocation recurrence,subjective symptoms of affected knees and general function recovery condition of affected limbs were studied.Results All patients were followed up for average 18 months (range,12-24 months),which showed the improvement of knee joint stability,without recurrence of patellar dislocation.Apprehensive test was negative.Axial X-ray films and CT of patella showed normal anatomical relation of patellofemoral joint.The Kujala patellar stability questionnaire scored (54.6 ±5.4) points before operation and (92.3 ±8.9) points after operation (t =55.41,P ＜ 0.01).All patients showed some improvement of motor ability after operation.CT examination showed that the congruence angle of patella and femoral trochlea was improved from preoperative (27.8 ± 8.1) ° to postoperative (2.3 ± 9.4) ° (t =20.87,P ＜ 0.01).Otherwise,ankle joint in the tendon donor site acted well,with normal function.Conclusion Arthroscopic lateral patellar retinaculum release and MPFL reconstruction using partialperoneus longus tendon autograft are effective in treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation in combination with superomedial displacement of tibial tuberosity,and avoid potential complications in tendon removal from around knee joint.

Objective To compare the clinical value of injury severity score (ISS) and CRAMS (circulation,respiration,abdomen,motor,speech) score in the prognosis of patients with severe multiple trauma in emergency department.Methods A total of 93 severe multiple trauma patients with 69 male and 24 female and age ranged from 21 to78 years with mean age (43.4 ± 14) years admitted in the emergency department from March 2014 to December 2015 were enrolled into this study.All of them were evaluated by using ISS and CRAMS score respectively and their survival during hospitalization was observed.Then,the predictive capabilities of ISS and CRAMS score for the mortality of patients were assessed by using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Results The mean ISS was (25.59 ± 5.37) and mean CRAMS score was (6.75 ± 1.26) in 93 patients with severe multiple trauma.Compared with the survival group (n =75),the ISS in the death group (n =18) was significantly higher (t =7.13,P ＜0.01) and CRAMS score was significantly lower (t =-6.03,P ＜0.01).In the ROC curve analysis,the AUCROC of predicting mortality of multiple trauma patients by ISS score was 0.897 and CRAMS score was 0.891,respectively.There was no significant difference in accuracy of predicting mortality between the two scoring systems (Z =0.718,P ＞ 0.05).When the death was chosen as the prediction target,the optimal cut-off point for ISS was 27 and CRAMS score was 6,respectively.Conclusions CRAMS score in comparison with ISS score has the likewise predictive value for the prognosis of severe multiple trauma patients in emergency department.However,the CRAMS score is simple and easy in practice.The changes of CRAMS score demonstrate the severity of trauma timely and reliably,which is in favor of the diagnosis and treatment of hospitalized trauma patients in early stage.

Objective To investigate the degradation characteristics of the large-scale brain functional networks during aging by functional magnetic resonance imaging measurement and explore its intrinsic mechanism.Methods 40 healthy subjects including 20 elderly persons [mean aged(72.4 ±4.6)years] and 18 young persons [mean aged(23.9± 1.8) years] were enrolled in this study.All subjects underwent functional MRI scanning at blood oxygenation level-dependent contrast resting state.Four canonical resting-state networks,including the default mode network (DMN),dorsal attention network (DAN),executive control network (ECN),salience network,and visual network,were extracted by the seed zone and double regression methods.The functional connectivities in these canonical networks were compared between the young and elderly persons.Results Compared with young persons,the elderly showed the distinct and disruptive alterations in the large-scale aging-related resting brain networks.The impairment of ECN was the most serious,followed by the impairment of DAN.The salience networks and DMN showed relatively limited functional connectivity disruption.The networks associated to higher-order brain functions were impaired,while the visual network,which served as a network related to low-order brain functions,had no significant change.Conclusions The aged brain in healthy subjects is characterized by organized change in networks,and the selective impairments of large-scale brain networks were more significant in the networks associated to higher-order brain functions as compared with the networks related to low-order brain functions.

AIM: To observe the effect of receptor-interacting protein 2 (Rip2) overexpression on human pan-creatic cancer cell line Panc-1.METHODS: pEGFP-C2 and pEGFP-Rip2 plasmids were respectively transfected into the Panc-1 cells using JetPRIME reagent.The cells were divided into control group, pEGFP-C2 group and pEGFP-Rip2 group. The apoptosis in the cells was detected 48 h after transfection by flow cytometry.Rip2 level and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, Bax, cytoplasmic cytochrome c ( Cyt-c) and Bcl-2, were analyzed by Western blot.The activity of caspase-3 was measured by colorimetric method.RESULTS: Rip2 protein expression significantly increased in the cells transfected with control and pEGFP-C2 plasmids.The apoptotic rate in pEGFP-Rip2 group was higher than that in control group and pEGFP-C2 group, whereas no significant difference of apoptotic rate was observed between control group and pEGFP-C2 group.The protein expression of Bax and cytoplasmic Cyt-c was remarkably increased and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was obviously decreased in pEGFP-Rip2 group as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group.The activity of caspase-3 in pEGFP-Rip2 group was obviously increased as compared with control group and pEGFP-C2 group.CON-CLUSION: Overexpression of Rip2 is able to induce apoptosis in the Panc-1 cells, and the mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of Bax and cytoplasmic Cyt-c protein expression, down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression and en-hancement of caspase-3 activity, thus activating intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
